So with 1 day to go until I was embarking on the adventure of a lifetime...the news came in that the trip was cancelled as an ICEBERG had damaged the boat!!!
HEre are a few of my thoughts and reflections and Facebook posts though out the day!
At a farewell lunch yesterday Ang and I were talking about how circumstances can change in an instant and if we base our hope in them we are volatile but we we put our hope and faith in God who is a constant regardless of our circumstances we are not moved!!! Thankfully my hope is is God and my world was not too rocked with this news..as I knew God was in control!
A relief in a funny kinda way....crazy but true..today I went to fetch my passport its been at the Czech Embassy getting my visa for Vienna...and it hasn't arrived back yet...it is still at the embassy in JHB and was expected to be released form the embassy today and couriers to Ballito tmr and I was scheduled to leave on the 6am flight on Thurs...oh never a dull moment..thats what makes these journeys exciting and full of suspense :)
Interesting....I was relieved I had taken out travel insurance for my flight etc...our flights to South America are only valid for 2 months so have to be cancelled and the insurance doesn't cover "Acts of God" as a reason for cancellation :) let see how this pans out! I must say...I really feel totally at peace about this whole thing...there are soooooo many positives to the change! God is in total control!!
Ps. A lot of people are asking why I'm not going on the rescheduled trip later in March....its one of my best friends weddings and Im her maid of honour and would not miss celebrating her special day with her...I would regret that for the rest of my life! Life is all about relationships and the loved ones in our lives...yes we do have to disappoint people at times to follow the will of God for our lives......but I don't feel I need to do that this time when I have an option of 2014 and the are sooooo many pros to this change in my 7 x7 schedule!
CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONTANT - EMBRACE IT!!!
Ahhh my sister was planning to surprise me at the airport tomorrow morning with a send off banner and the whole family they would have had to leave PMB at 3:30am….and she's just got back ofmr GHT and moving their in 3 weeks!!!
Yesterday I wanted to buy more time…I got a whole year!!!
Crazy how an ICEBERG can change sooo much!!!!
